Yield Makes about 15 pupusas

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound masa
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
4 cups lukewarm water
3 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Curtido, for serving
Salsa de Tomate, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together masa and salt. Add water, a little bit at a time, until a soft, pliable, nonsticky dough is formed.
  • Using damp hands, form dough into 2 1/2-inch balls. Flatten each ball into a 4-inch patty and place 1/4 cup cheese in the center of each. Fold sides of patties over cheese to enclose and reshape into a ball. Flatten each ball into another 4-inch patty.
  • Preheat a griddle and lightly coat with oil. Place patties on skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately with curtido and salsa.
